Stop Trying To 'Fix' Yourself - You Are Not Deficient | Author Jules Kuroda

from What Do You Know To Be True? · host Roger Kastner

You have likely spent years trying on your personal development journey trying to "fix" yourself. You’ve read the books, attended the workshops, and analyzed your weaknesses, hoping that once you finally polish away your flaws, you’ll feel complete. But what if the very act of trying to "fix" yourself is exactly what keeps you stuck? What if you are enough already? (Spoiler Alert: You Are!)We are often sold a lie that we are deficient, that who we are inherently isn’t enough, and we need to build a "better" version of ourselves to succeed. But this constant renovation project only leads to exhaustion. You aren't broken; you just need a mindset shift towards being your own source of power.In this conversation with coach and author Jules Kuroda, we explore dismantling the "Self-Improvement Trap" and the critical difference between the "Created Self, " the armor you built to survive, and the "Innate Self," where your true confidence, creativity, and calm actually live.We discuss why using logic to solve emotional struggles is a recipe for burnout, and how your "inner critic" is often just a misguided protector rather than an enemy. If you are tired of performing, striving, and feeling like a fraud despite your outward success, this conversation is the pivot point you need.It is time to stop the internal war. The answer isn’t to add more to your to-do list; it’s to have the courage to stop fixing what was never broken in the first place.In this episode, Jules answers the following questions:➡️What is the meaning of innate self?➡️What is the true self?➡️How does one discover their true self?➡️What does true self mean?Resources mentioned in the episode: -  Jules’ website: https://www.n8self.com/ - “The N8 Self” Book: https://a.co/d/5dVdjvk - Jules’ Instagram: @N8CoachMusic in this episode by Ian Kastner."What Do You Know To Be True?" is an invitation to be inspired to become more of your possible self by discovering your superpower, unlocking your potential, and creating your impact in the world.This podcast is for people leaders, coaches, org development practitioners, and anyone who works with people who want to be inspired to discover their superpower, unlock their possibilities, and make meaningful impact in the world.For more info about the podcast or to check out more episodes, go to: https://whatdoyouknowtobetrue.com/"What Do You Know To Be True?" is hosted by Roger Kastner, is a production of Three Blue Pens, and is recorded on the ancestral lands of the Duwamish and Suquamish people.
